Why should Hernandez family pay for his crimes. And the money doesn’t bring anyone back to life. We need tort reform on this. It’s ridiculous. Just because someone is wealthy doesn’t mean people get a lotto ticket. In the end your hurting innocent people usually kids.

Sat, 21 Jun 2014 18:16:09 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2265749#comment-3431836Leave the Pats and Kraft out of it. Red flags are only predictive of future events when viewed through hindsight. Anyway, paying him to play football doesn’t enable him to commit murder. If you were convicted of murder, would your victim’s family have a case against your employer? All the money in the world isn’t going to bring the victims back. Hernandez likely would have committed some type of crime like this NFL contract or no. Why should the Pats be responsible for what he does “off the clock?”

Sat, 21 Jun 2014 18:09:32 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2265749#comment-3431827Hernandez will probably get an arbitration ruling on his signing bonus long before a civil trial against him is completed. AH can assign his money to someone else or a retirement fund or trust. That’s why OJ Simpson kept his pension after his conviction. So the families shouldn’t expect to see any money unless Hernandez is foolish.

Sat, 21 Jun 2014 18:02:18 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2265749#comment-3431813A little bit of an argument in the comments right now is if he’d be eligible for the death penalty. If he killed Odin Lloyd to cover up the double homicide, it would be a federal crime. And the feds can use the death penalty, even if the crime was committed in a non-death penalty state.

Sat, 21 Jun 2014 15:36:44 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2265749#comment-3431637The civil court system is ruining this country.

How can you be found innocent of a murder and then have to PAY for that murder. Since when is murder a civil and monetary issue.

Only a lawyer can twist our system this way.

Crimes are CRIMES, thus judged in the CRIMINAL system.

If it’s NOT a CRIME, then that is when the civil courts should get involved.

BTW- my iPad autocorrects “Florio” to “Glorious”. Thought you would enjoy that.

You should read the articles you link to better. It clearly states that Mr. Lloyd’s family has already made a similar claim in court.

He’s been accused of several counts of murder and people want to take his money? Oh, right, Hernandez probably should have thought about that beforehand, eh? The only thing this chump needs his money for now is to pay Bubba to stay away.

Some one forgot to tell Hernandez that the criminal justice system is relentless…all his money won’t another day of freedom buy.

I cannot remember a more boneheaded move from another human being in my life !

Why should a Criminals family be entitled to anything. Donate any money to an inner city youth program to keep kids from turning into punks like this.

I guess guaranteed doesn’t mean what I think it means.
2. “…have quite strong to very strong civil cases against Hernandez for killing them.”
Shouldn’t that be ‘allegedly’?
3. If found guilty, does he qualify for the death penalty?

1. If he is found guilty of the double murder in 2012 then his contract is void.
2. Do we really need to put allegedly here
3. Mass Doesn’t have a death penalty so no

Sat, 21 Jun 2014 13:09:31 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2265749#comment-3431483This is not a strong to quite strong case, and it’s sad that a former lawyer is missing the obvious. The two victims in which this case stems from were killed prior to said signed contract with unpaid bonus money. That contract contains language that would make the deal null and void if prior to signing, Hernandez had committed a crime that would make him unavailable to play. Hence, if he’s found not guilty, they don’t get a dime… and if he’s found guilty, they don’t get a dime.

Sat, 21 Jun 2014 13:00:09 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2265749#comment-3431476You need to read the linked article a little closer. The families aren’t just trying to block Hernandez from getting the money, they named the Patriots and Kraft’s main company, to get into the really deep pockets.

I’m sorry those two guys are dead, but that’s not the fault of the Patriots or Bob Kraft. No way ANY team signs that new contract if they knew he had already killed two men.

This was a pure money grab move by those two families against Kraft and the Patrots
